With the November 16th release of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 fast approaching, fans have apparently gone ape-shiz buying up first-day pre-sale tickets for the concluding chapter to the franchise…so much so that sales have surpassed those of Part 1!

BIG TIME!

Like, an 87% INCREASE big time!

According to reports, while pre-sale tickets for Breaking Dawn - Part 1 brought in around $627,000 this time last year, Part 2's are already around the $1.17 MILLION mark!

After months of waiting, the Kardashian Kollection will finally be available at Sears at the end of the month. But for those of you who can't possibly wait, you can shop the collection early next week.

The pre-sale kicks off August 7th at midnight on Sears.com and searsStyle.com where shoppers can browse the first 20 pieces Kim, Khloe and Kourtney's line.

The early bird sale ends on August 10th just before the entire Kardashian Kollection becomes available online August 11th and in stores August 25th.

Why are people so excited for this movie?? The first one didn't hold a candle to the original series!!

Pre-sale tickets for the May 27th premiere of Sex and the City 2 are already on sale - six weeks in advance! And it's already out-selling movies playing in theaters NOW!

According to Fandango spokesman Harry Medved:

"It was nearly 20% of our daily sales when it first went on sale, outpacing (new box office champ) 'Kick-Ass,' which was 17% of sales. We saw surprisingly strong advance ticket sales on the first one, with many female moviegoers buying tickets en masse, planning screening parties for groups of friends who were flying in from out of town."

Regal Theater's Marketing Head Dick Westerling agrees:

"Women across the country are anxious to plan events and activities related to their evening out to see the film, and they want confirmation that they have tickets. Based on our experience with the first film, this can become quite an elaborate and fun-filled evening. Aside from purchasing tickets to see the movie, they are already reserving limousines and making restaurant reservations."

We suppose we should never underestimate the middle aged housewive's undying need to feel fabulous! It's half the reason Twilight does so well, too.

But now, the younger sister of Louis, Félicité Deakin (pictured above, left, with Louis), has figured out her own way to pay tribute to her mother in a very special manner, and we are SO touched by it.

On Friday, the 16-year-old Deakin shared the following image (below), a gorgeous portrait of the family with her late mother, Johannah Deakin, surrounded by all of her children:
